Libya, situation appears to be getting worse:

Posted By david elosser

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/revealed-inside-story-of-us-envoys-assassination-8135797.html

According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted.

Senior officials are increasingly convinced, however, that the ferocious nature of the Benghazi attack, [which killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and others] in which rocket-propelled grenades were used, indicated it was not the result of spontaneous anger due to the video, called Innocence of Muslims. Patrick Kennedy, Under-Secretary at the State Department, said he was convinced the assault was planned due to its extensive nature and the proliferation of weapons.

Now I ask all of you: what has the narrative of the main stream media been since the attacks? Spontaneous anger because of some video! Really? And just what created this breakdown of intel communications to our consulates and embassies in Arab countries? What did Obama know and when did he know it? Just what is his job as President of the US when it comes to intellegence gathering and using that intellegence to protect Americans both here and abroad? Did Hillary Clinton know of this intel? If so did she make any efforts to warn our diplomats? These are questions that the MSM will not ask, so I ask them here. No, the MSM is more interested in getting together and figuring out how to make Romney look bad.

Impeachable you

Come on libs admit it, if George W had done this, there would be calls of impeachment from the MSM and Dems in Congress:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/03/drone-attacks-in-pakistan_n_1737242.html

"The US has launched drone strikes in Pakistan over 330 times with...up to 852 civilian [casualties]"

Inaddition to the civilian casualties, experts admit that valuable intelligence information is lost with these drone strikes. Special Forces raids could minimize the civilian casualties and gather the important intel.

This is why I don't care...

... if presidential candidates release their tax returns. Other than giving the Dems a false sense of hope, it really distracts from the real issues that this country is facing.
It's not going to make the libs stop embarrasing themselves lying about Mitt, althoug I suppose that's a good thing. wink

Now bear in mind that, AARP, in their own television commercials, pitches private supplemental Medicare insurance describing Medicare as "swimming in a pool with no water" and "playing a board game with no spots on the dice."

Obama lies people die

Posted By david elosser

Sound familiar? Except only the name has changed. And holy crap here's a random act of real jurnalism from ABC:
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/president-obama-falsely-claims-fast-and-furious-program-begun-under-the-previous-administration/

Obama has long been trying to deceive the American people that Fast And Furious began under the Bush administration. He is innacurately linking Wide Receiver, which was started under the Bush administration, but discontinued in 2007 (F&F was begun in 2009). There are a number of differences between the two programs, one of which WR resulted in arrests, while F&F resulted in American and Mexican deaths. No wonder he was grilled so heavily on that topic with his live interview with Univision! 8O

Obama fact-checked by Obama's own

Posted By david elosser

Obama has been claiming, among other lies, that Romney's tax plan would require massive tax increases on the middle class, citing studies by Harvard economist Martin Feldstein and Princeton economist Harvey Rosen. Turns out, they have been mis-represented.

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/princeton-economist-obama-campaign-misrepresenting-my-study-romneys-tax-plan_653917.html

Harvey Rosen: "I can’t tell exactly how the Obama campaign reached that characterization of my work. It might be that they assume that Governor Romney wants to keep the taxes from the Affordable Care Act in place, despite the fact that the Governor has called for its complete repeal. The main conclusion of my study is that under plausible assumptions, a proposal along the lines suggested by Governor Romney can both be revenue neutral and keep the net tax burden on taxpayers with incomes above $200,000 about the same. That is, an increase in the tax burden on lower and middle income individuals is not required in order to make the overall plan revenue neutral."

Well, Shazhamm!

Always follow the money with liberals

Posted By david elosser

The biggest commercial beneficiary of the "Obamaphones" is TracFone, whose owners have donated and bundled more than $1.5 million to O since 2007. It was in 2008, Obama's election year, that the "Obamaphone" became into existance, and now costs taxpayers $1.6 billion. They raise this money by allowing the FCC to literally impose a "fee" on your cell phone bill. A fee that almost certainly will have to go up (as much as $7.00/month by one estimate I read) to pay for the six million and growing Obamaphones to date. (There are one million Obamaphone users in Ohio alone.)
